Best of Florida Travel -- The Breakers in Palm Beach

COURTESY OF THE BREAKERS

One of the best resorts in Southeast Florida in our Best of Florida Travel series. The Breakers (Palm Beach; thebreakers.com; 561-655-6611). This beachfront resort, with ties to oil magnate Henry Flagler, combines luxury and history. Flagler, who brought the railroad to South Florida, lost his original Breakers to fire. But his family built the current version in 1926, modeling the building after the Villa Medici in Rome. Though rooted in the past, the resorts amenities are contemporary: a spa, childrens programs, multiple pools, shops and restaurants.
